Many applications such as '''OpenOffice.org''', '''LibreOffice''' or '''Microsoft Excel''' create files which are called documents. '''Kexi''' creates files too, but we refer to them as '''Kexi''' database files, or simple database files here.

Many programs, like '''LibreOffice Calc''' or '''Microsoft Excel''', save their work in files that people usually call documents. '''KEXI''' also saves work in files, but it can connect to database servers to store both the design and the data outside of the user's computer. These servers can be accessed through a network. Because of this, the terms '''KEXI projects''' or '''KEXI databases''' are used instead of just database files or documents.


In addition to storing your databases in database files, '''Kexi''' can also use databases on database servers, which is why we refer to them as database files, and not simply as databases.

Understanding KEXI Projects and Databases

Many programs, like LibreOffice Calc or Microsoft Excel, save their work in files that people usually call documents. KEXI also saves work in files, but it can connect to database servers to store both the design and the data outside of the user's computer. These servers can be accessed through a network. Because of this, the terms KEXI projects or KEXI databases are used instead of just database files or documents.

Information

KEXI database files usually have the extension .kexi
